The Chase Is Over
I finally feel right.
So many problems have been surrounding me, suffocating me.
I was drowning in insecurity.
I was engulfed in lonliness.
But now--all of a sudden, I feel free.
Independent and free.
As if I never really needed him, but I know I do.
The feeling is that the cord is broken--no more of this being attached at the hip.
Only our hearts, minds, and hands are permanently connected to one another.
I now know how much I really need him--by not needing to need him.
Before now I didn't think I could have an above-average time without him.
I felt the day wasn't complete without hearing his voice.
But now, I let him do to me what I did to him--the chase.
My love was covered by obsession.
It couldn't be seen.
However, now it's translucent.
You can see the real me.
I can be with friends and think of him, but not need him to help me walk.
Things are different.
Things have changed.
The chase is over.
